Jun 5, 2014 - 8:42 am 13 by

Google Panda 4.0On May 20th, Google began rolling out Panda 4.0 and shortly after we asked you to take our Panda poll. Thousands of you did and I wanted to share the results.

I asked, How Did Google Panda 4.0 Impact Your Site?

  • 28% : My Rankings Decreased, But I Never Previously Hurt By Panda
  • 24% : My Rankings Remained The Same, But I Never Previously Hurt By Panda
  • 20% : My Rankings Increased, But I Was Never Hurt By Panda
  • 16% : I Recovered From My Previous Panda Penalty
  • 12% : I Did Not Recover From My Previous Panda Penalty

I am surprised so many are claiming a recovery, that is over 200 of you saying your site recovered! Congrats!
